Data Input Page to Formatted Page - Help

B

I need to create a webpage that has blank text boxes and lists containing
pre-programmed options. I then need the page to take the information entered
and the options selected and display the information on another page in a
specific format. What is the best way to do this? Thanks.

For example, On the input page I type the value of "Smith" in the name
field, select "PA" from the list of states, and enter "2/20/2007" in the date
field. Then I hit submit.
It posts the data to the new page that is now displayed. The data appears on
the preformatted page now under a section with the heading "Customer Info:"
It has Name: "Smith"
State: "PA"
Date: " 2/20/07"

I'm not sure if I understand your question but probably you need to store
your info into a batabase for example access and then build searchforms and
dbresultpages.

There are various ways to do this, depending on what you
eventually are going to do with the data (if anything), and
what scripting languages are available for you to use.

Here is an ASP based method using the sample you mentioned

EntryPage.html- where all of your data entry is done
<form method="POST" action="Display.asp" name="Form1" >
<input type="text" name="SenderName" size="40">
<input type="text" name="SenderZIP" size="5">
</form>

Display.asp- the confirmation page
<p>
Hello <% =Request.Form("SenderName") %>, you claim to live
in zip code <% =Request.Form("SenderZIP") %>.
</p>
